I'm currently working on a video for the radio station at my university. We'll need about 200 copies of the finished product on DVD. Last year we went through a local company to get them made (for about $700), but I searched around and found this:

With all of the burners, it looks like I could build a 1:9 DVD duplicator for under $500. I could give our guys a quote for the same price as the place we went last year, which would cover the cost duplication tower, plus the blank DVDs. I'd then have a DVD Duplication tower I could use for anything else that comes up. The only bad part would be buying ink and loading them individually into my printer afterwards.

Is there something I'm missing here? Can the DVD controllers in these things just automatically copy a DVD I've made with DVD Studio or something similar?
